Joaquin Nuño-Whelan, President of Lincoln, breaks it down in one word: momentum.
In this segment, he shares how trust, ownership, and removing friction unlock team performance and why traditional command-and-control leadership no longer works.
If you're leading in automotive or any legacy industry, this is the mindset shift you need.
What we get into:
➡️ Why momentum — not control — is the real job of a leader
➡️ How trust and ownership get a team over the inertia and actually moving
➡️ What it takes to lead boldly inside a 100-year-old brand without losing the legacy
